I CAN GIVE TALENTS

When a cultivator starts to understand the concept of something, for example, the concept of fire, they now have a better understanding of the principle of the universe, to the point where they can conjure fire using the spiritual energy around them without using any of their Qi.

The higher the mastery they have regarding a certain concept, the higher the power they would be able to control.

However, directly conjuring and controlling these powers are not without limits. It depends on the mental strength of the user.

Right now, Anda's battle power has multiplied a few times due to the concept of fire she learned from the Enlightenment. Furthermore, she would not be exhausted easily as she can use her Qi or mental energy to produce fire.

There are a few ways for cultivators to gain an insight into any type of Dao.

First is to learn, identify, or discover the truth behind a certain phenomenon, and what made it possible at the macroscopic level or microscopic level. This method is the most common but it takes a very long effort and time. Even with so much effort and time spent, a cultivator might not be able to get a glimpse of the Dao their entire life. This method is more favorable to a genius.

Secondly, consume a Supreme Heaven and Earth Treasure which contains a Dao in it or which could grant enlightenment. This method usually caused a lot of bloodbaths and only the strongest one would be able to acquire it since the birth of a Supreme Heaven and Earth Treasure would be accompanied by a dazzling phenomenon that would alert the whole continent.

Thirdly, mastering any skills to the utmost limit would allow a cultivator to open their way to the path of Dao as well. This is similar to finding out the truth of something, but it was more toward the experience and the accumulation of doing the same thing over and over again to the point of perfection.

Lastly, just be lucky. There was no real reason as to why it happened. Sometimes people would get lucky and trigger enlightenment out of nowhere. In any case, everyone has a chance to reach the Dao depending on the method they use.

Leyvi was amazed by how lucky his panda wife was. Since the path of Dao has opened for her, it would just be easier from now on. It was that single first step that countless people failed, Anda was lucky enough to obtain it!

If someone were to peer into Leyvi's heart at this moment, they would discover that there was not a shred of envy in it. On the other hand, they would find boundless contentment and satisfaction that he was able to be lucky enough to see it personally.

If it was another person, they would feel envious and want the same thing to happen to them too, or even worse, kill them and snatch what belonged to others.

To have a clear heart like Leyvi would be extremely difficult. From the moment Leyvi got his hand on the talent bead, he has been giving away heaven-defying talents to other people or living beings. His heart has slowly been trained to be broad and open-minded.

When Lilian discovered that the soil where the peach tree grew was some kind of precious treasure, he never had a single thought to take it away from her.

It was then further strengthened when he was willing to give another heaven-defying talent to a complete stranger without hoping for any return. It was just on a whim that he thought he was repaying some karma.

Additionally, having a wife like Anda who was willing to find more wives for him on her own will elevate his heart contentment to another level.

Unbeknownst to Leyvi, a Dao Heart was slowly forming in his existence.

Although it was just an embryonic form right now, Leyvi has saved thousands of years of cultivation as having a dao heart is a requirement for cultivators to reach a certain realm.

Suddenly his spiritual sense expanded massively, it reached a radius of ten kilometers! It was just a kilometer previously.

"What?" Leyvi was shocked by what happened. For some reason, he could sense things more clearly. As for what this 'clear' is, he couldn't put his finger on it. Did the talent bead give him new benefits? He wondered.

"Huh? There's a person," While he was still confused by the sudden expansion of his spiritual sense, he detected a person eight kilometers away coming to the cave path they were on.

"That mask!" Leyvi recognized the mask the person was wearing. He must be from the same organization as the one who died. Leyvi immediately made the connection.

"Leyvi, what's the matter?" Anda asked, as soon as she got familiar with the concept of fire, she stopped and saw Leyvi having a serious expression.

"Someone is tracking us. A late-stage Foundation Building cultivator, probably the same group as the one that attacked us before. He's still eight kilometers away," Leyvi quickly explained.

"Eight kilometers? Leyvi, did you gain a benefit again? How did your spiritual sense reach that far?" Anda was taken aback.

"I'm not sure, but it's not the benefit. It suddenly expanded to ten kilometers wide after I watched your enlightenment. Maybe your enlightenment blessed me too. Hahaha!" Leyvi quickly attributed his gain to Anda's enlightenment. There was no other good reason he could think of instead of this.

"Ten kilometers!?" Her panda eye widened. When she asked Vivian about her spiritual sense, she only had a spiritual sense of about three kilometers range, and this was a core formation expert.

Anda was still skeptical. Even she who went through an enlightenment didn't get a boost in her spiritual sense. Her spiritual sense only reached a kilometer radius after she broke through to the middle-stage Foundation Building.

Although she and Leyvi have a better spiritual sense than the average cultivator, she still doesn't know what actually affects the spiritual sense of a cultivator. The cultivation base definitely affects it, but what else?

"He's seven kilometers near us now. Let's ambush him!" Leyvi interrupted Anda's thought.

"Let's get some information from him," Anda smiled.

.....

"It's been more than a week and I am finally able to get some clue of which path they went. Damn! I'm so bad at tracking people, just let me kill them!" The masked guy who was looking for Leyvi and Anda in the cave went to the wrong path every time and almost made him lose his patience.

He soon noticed that the heat was getting higher around here. He strengthened the water Qi protection around him and continued to move toward the heat source.

When he silently arrived at the magma pool, nobody was there from his spiritual sense. He wondered if they were still further ahead.

Just as he was about to move further ahead, he suddenly passed out while still standing.

Leyvi and Anda stopped stagnating their Qi and came out of their hiding spot.

"I put him in an illusion. His consciousness went to slumber and his subconsciousness will answer all of our questions," Anda said with a smile. She made use of her scent to activate the illusion technique she learned. Since the smell from the magma pool masked the scent she released, he was easily put into the illusion.

"Inspector Anda, please continue to interrogate this suspect, I will be assisting from the side," Leyvi suddenly started to goof around by role-playing a detective scene.

Anda rolled her eyes. She then took off his mask and asked him multiple questions regarding the situation.

Soon, Anda found out the answers to all of her questions. Nine other masked men were looking for them and one of them was a peak-stage Foundation Building cultivator. She also found out that they were the men of the City Lord Magna. The City Lord has been hiding some secret in the Bara Volcano so he has been preventing people from coming by killing them.

"Leyvi, what should we do now? I heard the City Lord is a middle-stage Core Formation expert. There's no way we could fight him right now." Anda looked concerned.

Leyvi frowned. He didn't expect that the person that they killed was the men of the City Lord. He thought he was just a random bandit. He cursed this City Lord Magna in his heart, no wonder there are no people here, this villain city lord has been killing innocent people to hide his secret. What was in the Bara Volcano anyway that made him do this?

Leyvi sighed. Seems like he would be forced to kill people again. He really doesn't want to get used to this.

"Let's just move away and hide first, they don't know our face yet. So if we can avoid them long enough and escape from somewhere further away, we should be fine," Leyvi decided to run and hide. There were too many people to fight and he couldn't risk it.

Anda nodded and her expression focused again. She took out her sword, punctured the city lord's men's dantian, grabbed his space bag, and kicked him into the magma pool.
